How does an individual LOSE $1 Billion in a year?

[nat4900]

What fence? I made my opinion quite clear in this and subsequent posts in this thread.

And again, many billionaires lose a billion in a year. I'm not sure why this is so difficult to understand.

How many of those billionaires who ALSO lose a billion per year are running for president as the greatest businessman ever??

Thank you. Perfect.

Take a good look, folks. They deflect from Michael Jordan's quote from his playing days as a way to discredit the quote. And the quote, of course, has nothing to do with the deflection.

When someone succeeds through hard work, sacrifice and even failure, they immediately become a target of the Regressive Left. You didn't build that. You didn't earn that. You don't own that.

Absolutely perfect

First of all, Jordan is NOT seeking to run this country.....

Second, to manage to NOT pay taxes for 18 years (and maybe even longer) is NOT a badge of courage to wear on your chest.

One would guess that the MAIN course at Trump U. could well be how to best avoid your responsibility to your country by avoiding ANY taxes.

He used relevant tax code...and it bugs the shit out of you loons. Well done Donald

Wooooosh, right over your ignorant noodle. We get it toady, you hate Trump....you really don't think you're going to change anyone's minds do you? That goes for all you leftists. The anti Trump insanity on this forum has went from comical to just sad.

Besides the "has went" grammar.....What are you really contributing to the thread?

Many of us well know that its impossible to counter stupidity and hatred from right wingers on these types of forums...but, its always worthwhile to hold a mirror up to your faces.

I don't really care, loon. You're one of the biggest whiners on this forum. I'm not the one starting thread after thread like you are, am I? And usually the ones you start are variations of existing threads, it's your insatiable need for attention.

Now go play grammar police woman with someone else, idiot

every forum has a hall monitor.

That's exactly true. My first two businesses failed.

Never run for president, then.....

i agree, he has an army of lawyers that tell him what to do about taxes. so do the clintons now that they are finally successful.

Trump is the Atlas Shrugged candidate, hillary wants to rule the world.

meanwhile the "socialist" candidate just bought a million dollar house on lake champlain here in vermont.

now, i get it.

We are not talking about a country here (although there are some whose GDP is just about $1 billion), but we are talking about an individual who is running for president on the mantra of "the best businessman on the planet.....ever......trust him, believe in him....he's the greatest, etc."

Yes, our tax system is seriously flawed in allowing someone, like Trump, to not only list losses of $916 million in ONE single year (and the repercussions that such a loss may have also caused on others)....BUT to turn around and be exempt from any tax burden for 18 subsequent years...........AND, the clincher, is to carry on in your lifestyle after such a loss, to STILL be living in a penthouse, have a private plane and still be able to walk into most banks and get additional risky loans.

I know that many of us have written Trump's eulogy over many other discovered flaws in Trump's character and history, but surely the average voter must place aside any hatred of Clinton and REJECT this charlatan who could seriously damage not only our economy, but who is thin-skinned enough to even risk our world standing.

So you must have watched the Frontline special.

It was a good documentary. It tried to dish out equal dirt on both Donald and Hillary.

Overall I think Hillary came out looking like a well intentioned traumatized advocate for Bill, while Trump came out an egotist who is not really good at anything.

I don't think we can rule Trump out until election day. He has millions of minions from his 14 seasons of TV reality. If they all turn out to vote then he might actually beat Hillary.

I would feel more safe, as would the ROW, with Hillary as POTUS. But I won't shoot myself just because Trump got elected. My guns would actually be more safe with Trump as POTUS.

Yep, Ayn Rand would be proud.......Too bad that Paul Ryan's own objectivism doesn't agree with Trump's......

(RAND's famous quote......The question isn't who is going to let me; it's who is going to stop me.......Remind you of any other despot???)

good question.
2016 has not proved fruitful so far for some of the richest people on the planet,
BloombergBusiness has reported that the world’s 400 wealthiest people have lost a combined $305 billion (roughly £214 billion) since the turn of the year.

Faltering worldwide growth has seen Microsoft mogul Bill Gates lose an estimated $6.8 billion (roughly £4.7 billion) from his net worth alone. That has got to hurt.

It is Amazon’s founder Jeff Bezos who has taking the biggest hit so far. The Bloomberg Billionaire Index reports that he has lost $8.9 billion (£6.2 billion) since the start of January.

What ever Trump did or didn't do was legal or the Hussein administration would have indicted him a long time ago so all the speculation about Trump's taxes is a moot point. The question remains why did the IRS director "take the 5th" when questioned about the IRS being used by the administration to punish political enemies. While we are at it, why did the president authorized 400 million (or more) to be shipped in cash and Swiss bonds and Euros to be shipped to a country that supports terrorism. Lefties often seem confused about the difference between elected officials misusing the IRS and taxpayer dollars and a civilian's God given right to try to keep most of the money he earns.

BHO was skirting the line while he defied Congress during Harry Reid's majority.

But after McConnell gained the upper hand he stopped doing it, impeachment then being a realistic threat to him with Reid no longer his guardian angel.

Immigration was the hot button that got both major parties really hateful about each other.

That issue is not likely to change at all soon.

Front or no front, PBS covered Donald and Hillary quite well.

I did not spot any lies by PBS. Everything was factual.

And in terms of volume they kept it equal on either side.

Everyone who went to college AND has half a brain does not like Trump.

Get used to it.

It Trump wins it will only be due to his TV audience turning out in droves.

Please don't base your vote on who "wants your guns"......neither of the 2 do and that would be a false premise on casting one's vote.

People who know little about what it takes to start, grow and run a successful business don't know that failure is not only a consistent feature of successful business people, most of those successful business people will happily tell you that their failures were a key factor in their long term success.

That doesn't stop these people from pointing out the failures of business people. Hey, it's not their fault. They're ignorant. How would they know?

.

That's exactly true. My first two businesses failed.

Anyone who has succeeded has failed somewhere along the line

Thats correct.
